Goofs

During the interview it is mentioned that Michael Jackson owned the Beatles catalog. However by the time the flashback scenes were set Jackson didn't own the entire catalog. Half of the songs were sold to SONY in 1995 for about $100 million and in 2005 another part was sold so that SONY owned 75% of the rights.

Excellent

Excellent portrayal of Michael by Navi and good to see another side of the story. Brilliant actors cast throughout. So lovely to have more of an in sight about the sad times and the good times of Michael's life. If your a Michael Jackson fan this is a must watch. The scenes with the children were very real to watch and the bond portrayed between the bodyguards and Michael was very believable. I enjoyed every minute of this movie. It has to be one of the best and most true portrayals of Michael's last year's alive.
